Today our musical post, wil be a short, and for once in French/English, in the honour of Cheryl, who sent me this video. Talking about this hudge hit "Stand By Me", Ben E King 1961 cover being the reference, but not the first, as it comes actually from an early 1900 gospel, reviewed, sung, mixed, knead by many before being brought in the higher place of sound and fame by Ben E King grace and groove. The guy, after a quick run with The Drifters, went into a solo career, mainly led by this one Hit "Stand By Me"... Ben E king is thus not far from being what them guys call a One Hit Wonder. The song was a hudge hit in 1961, and was covered since then over 400 times....

The video Cheryl sends us direct from Santa Cruz, California, comes from "playing For a Change" project, a guy strated recording this guy you see right at the beginning, and then the idea comes to him to go round the world recording many streets covers of this, and then many other "love each other songs".
